We are PROHEALTH PHYSIO can conduct pre-injury screens to assess for potential injuries. For athletes or those who play social sports, these screens are conducted a few weeks outside of a competition or the start of a regular season, with the goal of assessing and treating current discomfort and pain. For the general population, the screens can be conducted any time.
Based on the result of these screens, the individual may be clear to continue strenuous workouts or otherwise will take part in a conditioning and rehabilitation program to fix the discomfort and pain prior to the event.
If you would like to find out more information about our Pre-Injury Screen contact our friendly team to discuss.
